[QUOTE="nkobel, post: 1247014, member: 203210"] Ok, so I was able to get an external SATA to USB reader. I backed up and formatted my disk. I then restored the backup and booted just fine with the USB reader. When I put the disk back into the original SATA port in the laptop it recognized the disk and got to the load screen with the Apple logo where it hangs for a while. But then it gets the circle with the slash through it and it doesn't go any further. So it might appear that there is something wrong with my internal SATA reader?... Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
